Nicely decorated hotel as mentioned in previous reviews.

Room service was excellent (and food was yum!) and restaurant served a lovely lunch.

The downside is the area the hotel is in - too many young ladies swinging handbags for my liking! Even with my husband with me I felt the area was a little on the un-salubrious side for my liking...

I would certainly try other AC hotels, but not this one. In fact Alicante itself did not ring my bell (and I am a confirmed Hispanophile!)

This is a very classy hotel which is close to the airport. While the location may at first seem a little odd, it's in the building of a major construction area, it's actually just outside of the town which means that it is quieter. The front desk staff were very good and our early check in was no problem. The hotel is still very quiet and we only saw a few other guests while we were there.

There's a 24 hour supermarket just out of the hotel to the left and behind a childrens play area and of course the mini bar is complementary. About a 15-20 minute walk along the front is the marina and a small beach. Plenty of restaurants to choose from covering all tastes and budgets.

If you want to hire a car for a day or two it's much cheaper to pick your car up in town rather than the airport. We hired from Avis, which is at the railway station, and it was 40% cheaper than the Avis at the airport.

The rooms are a fair size but well furnished and decorated. Good size bathroom, although the shower is a little awkward to figure out. The roof top pool is great, it was still around 30C when we were there.

Just been for the weekend, what a stylish modern hotel. If you love Ikea design you'll love the hotel. Whats more it wasn't expensive. It took ten minutes from the airport in a taxi. Only downside it isn't in the middle of town but a walk of 10-15mins sees you in the thick of it. It does look out onto the docks and the main road into town runs in front. But you rarely get any noise. The staff speak english some better than others but you can communicate. It was immaculatly clean, relaxing and a great contempary design and not forgetting the plunge pool on the roof. Definetly a couples hotel.... fab

The AC Alicante is a brand new hotel situated 5 minutes walk from the Marina on the southside of Alicante. although the website states views out towards the sea these views are over the docks, this and its location on a busy road are the 2 factors which stop it from getting an "excellent". Inside, however, the hotel is stunning. Everything is clean ,modern and very stylish with public areas and bedrooms beautifully presented. The rooms have flat screen TV, complimentary mini bar and spacious shower areas with toiletries provided. There is a small roof top pool ideal for cooling off later in the day and a gym for the more energetic. Reception staff speak good English and are very helpful. some basic Spanish is useful to assist with ordering in the restaurant - and indeed elsewhere in Alicante. The hotel is geared towards the business traveller, however, also seemed to be popular with stylish Spanish couples enjoying a week-end break. I would not recommend it for families, definately more for singles/couples/independant travellers. Search around for a good rate and you will not be disappointed.
